you my best friend

"Speech!"
Mac grinned widely as his speculation was right - the meat was, in fact, for him. And why wouldn’t it? He and Ghoul were thick as thieves, and certainly a formidable duo. Not only did they have to look out for each other, but they needed to give something back for all the spars and brawls they’d been through, too. He couldn’t wait to show Ghoul what he’d made for him - the meat looked fantastic, but he couldn’t help but spill his secrets about how he’d stuffed this snake.

When his brother asked if the snake was for him, he flashed an even wider smile towards the rose-pelted boy. "I’m glad you asked, and yes, it’s for you!" He gently pushed his pride and joy towards Ghoul, then adding, "It’s extra special because I killed the snake, gutted it, cleaned up the skin, and stuffed it with some lavender and crushed leaves so it won’t stink and maintain its shape." He giggled. "All by myself too! Even the stiching!" He mentioned, nodding towards the decent stotchwork on the snake’s underbelly. He wasn’t that dextrous or graceful, but it would do. Plus, it didn’t have a foul stench, so Ghoul could keep it in the den..or elsewhere. He didn’t mind. Now that he made this snake, he felt the carnal urge to make more of these stuffed creatures. This gift gave him ideas, and not all of them pleasant. Not pleasant for the prey animals he was planning to target, anyways.
